Thrift Store Lamp Upcycle. Trash to Treasure Woodworking Project
Upcycling a thrift store lamp and giving it a new life!
I find myself going to thrift stores and antique malls quite often these days to find gems for upcycling. Today was a good day! I found an old “New Home Sewing Machine” and table for only $10! On the same trip I found this desk lamp that I thought would be perfect for a new upcycle project. We’ll save the sewing machine for another article.
I only want the guts and the lamp head so I tear apart this lamp and discard the base and gooseneck cover. I’m using mahogany wood for the base and I cut it in a way that’ll hold Post-it notes and a pen. This was a fun project that only took a few hours to complete. You can bet I’ll be doing some more mantiquing in the future. As always, be safe, be passionate and Make Something!
